Joburg Roads Agency axes CEO
The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has confirmed the axing of its CEO Tshepo Mahanuke.
The entity confirmed the ousting of Mahanuke in a statement of Wednesday.
The termination comes after Mahanuke failed to provide evidence to counter the fraud detected in his CV, which was provided to the JRA during his recruitment process.
This follows the findings of an independent investigation report.
JRA board chairperson Charles Cilliers says the decision to terminate Mahanuke's contract is in line with the Labour Relations Act.
“Given the serious nature and far-reaching ramifications of the matter at hand, coupled with the findings of a rigorous investigation and the failure of Mr Mahanuke to respond to the charges
levelled against him, the JRA Board resolved to immediately terminate Mr Mahanuke’s employment with the Johannesburg Roads Agency.
”The decision to terminate Mr Mahanuke’s employment at the JRA complies with the Labour Relations Act, Schedule 8- Code of Good Practice on Dismissal, the relevant Case Law, and also considers the severe legal costs already incurred thus far.”
Mahanuke was granted seven days to appeal the decision.
